I'm going to be making a Danny Phantom fanfic this time! I decided to make a fanfic where Sam becomes a vampire! Were you expecting me to make her half-ghost like Danny? Well, I could have gone with that but I figured I would be more creative just like I did with one of my other fanfics.
Oh wait...there seem to be a few fanfics in which Sam is a vampire...I don't think they typically involve her TURNING into a vampire though. Oh well.
Anyways, I hope that you enjoy the show! And yes, Sam will have several powers just like Danny...but they'll be different.
Chapter 1: Don't Read From The Book
Sam relaxed in her room, texting Danny. Unbeknownst to Danny, she had a picture of him without his shirt on that she would occasionally take a look at...but she had decided not to tell him about that. What would he think?
"Look at those abs..." thought Sam. If only Danny took his shirt off more often. Maybe he inherited his attractive torso from his father?
Right now he was busy being Danny Phantom, whether it was fighting ghosts or simply using his powers to do fun things such as walk through walls or possess people's bodies. Sam wondered why Amity Park was full of ghosts. Was there some sort of ghost magnet or something? Maybe someone should simply seal up the Ghost Zone portal so that new ghosts would stop getting in.
"If only I had the Ghostbusters' phone number..." thought Sam. Unfortunately, Amity Park was NOT in New York.
Maybe she should talk to Danny's parents about getting rid of all these paranormal creatures so that Danny could take a day off. He would probably appreciate it. Besides, he wanted to study for the pop quiz that was coming up in Mr. Lancer's class. He would not be happy with him if he failed.
Speaking of which, maybe she should study for that pop quiz too...even if she did get good grades.
"I'm sure that Mr. Lancer will appreciate it..." thought Sam. He was actually considering putting her on the honor roll. Her parents would be so proud. Maybe she wouldn't be a goth anymore.
Of course, although they WERE technically ghost hunters, Danny's parents' machinery had resulted in their son becoming part-ghost in the first place. It was one of the ironies in life...just like she was a goth who was best friends with a computer geek and a boy who was so cool he could freeze a desert solid.
And she meant that literally.
Suddenly, she got a text from Danny. Apparently, he wanted to investigate a tomb that was supposedly haunted. Of course, if Danny was a normal human being, he wouldn't even come near that tomb. In fact, he would probably scream like a little girl if he ever saw it...and of course he would probably embarrass himself around Dash if he was there and he would never hear the end of it from him.
"Are you busy tonight?" asked Danny.
"I'm wide open..." answered Sam.
"Good!" exclaimed the ghost boy.
Sam smiled.
Danny had also invited Tucker to go with him, but unlike her, he seemed reluctant to do so.
"I'm s-s-scared..." murmured Tucker. Haunted tombs gave him the creeps...and the jeebies...and an awful fright.
"You'll be fine. I'll go with you, remember?" assured Danny. They were friends to the end...of time!
"If you s-s-say so..." stated the boy. He was sweating heavily as if it was a really hot summer day...even though it was currently autumn.
"Hmm, you're starting to sound like the way I did when I first started developing my ice powers..." noted the phantom.
But since he was part-ghost and captured ghosts regularly so that he could take them to the Ghost Zone, this was quite an opportunity. He would do his parents proud, even if he was technically part-ghost himself.
Of course, there was the possibility that the ghosts weren't so hostile...but he figured it would be interesting to explore the tomb regardless to see if there WERE ghosts. Perhaps the rumors were true.
And for some strange reason, he wanted his friends to come with him. Perhaps he got lonely when he was being heroic. Being a superhero could be a rather lonely life since you didn't want to expose your secret identity.
Since Danny had apparently snapped under the pressure a bit he had decided to tell his sister and his two best friends about it. Of course, those two best friends were her and Tucker. Basically, they were the only people in Amity Park who knew that Danny Fenton had an alter ego that beat the ectoplasm out of ghosts on a regular basis.
Personally, Sam wondered what it would be like living life as an undead. Would she suddenly rise from her grave one day? That probably wouldn't be unheard of considering where she was living in. She would call it a ghost town if it were...deserted.
Eventually, she was ready to head to the tomb. There were numerous signs saying NOT to enter the tomb, but she figured that she would be fine. After all, she had Danny Phantom on her side. What could possibly go wrong?
She would find out shortly.
Sure enough, there was in fact ghosts inside the tomb, like the warnings had implied. However, they didn't seem to bode no ill will to Danny Phantom. It felt rather strange. In fact, it seemed like they were trying to warn HIM about something.
What could it possibly be?
Danny, Tucker, and Sam decided to pull out some flashlights so that they could investigate their surroundings. They might as well explore the tomb a bit, even if the ghosts were telling them to stay away. Danny wasn't too good of a listener as Mr. Lancer would attest.
On the walls were drawings of various different creatures...creatures that she had only seen in mythology. It was rather peculiar.
Unfortunately, she eventually ended up being separated from Tucker and Danny when suddenly a trapdoor opened up beneath her feet. Down she went.
"Sam!" exclaimed Danny.
"Danny!" bellowed Sam. Looks like she needed to watch her step a bit more. Of course, since Danny could fly, he NEVER needed to watch his step.
Fortunately, it wasn't a long fall...otherwise she would end up giving up the ghost. And yes, that was an ironic metaphor considering the cartoon that she hailed from. It'd be particularly ironic if it happened to Danny Phantom...though it was doubtful anyone that was not part of Danny's rogues gallery would want that. Not her at least.
"Alright, judging from all these booby traps, someone doesn't want me here..." noted Sam. Who built this tomb in the first place? She would like to know. It didn't seem to be Egyptian judging from the fact that they weren't even living in Egypt...
Curious, she uncovered a rather strange book. What exactly was a book doing in a place like this? It certainly seemed out of place, that was for sure. Most books she recalled were on bookshelves.
"Huh? What's this?" asked the goth. It didn't look like any book she had ever seen inside her school library. In fact, it looked rather ancient. On the cover there was an eye that seemed to be staring right at her. Also, the book was colored red.
It was unsettling, but she decided that it was also rather intriguing. Should she read it? Her mother did tell her not to judge a book from its cover...but it didn't seem to be an ordinary book.
"Well, I guess I'll just dust it off a bit..." said Sam, trying to do just that.
Apparently, the book was known as the Monstronomicon...and the author was a man known as Frank Romero. What a peculiar name.
"Frank Romero? Never heard of him..." stated the goth. Perhaps he was one of the founders of Amity Park or something like that. Just how old WAS the book? It was probably older than the Declaration Of Independence...and that was over two centuries old at this point.
She wondered why exactly he had decided to make that book in the first place. Judging from the fact that she had never heard from him, he wasn't a best-selling author. Perhaps this was the only book that he had ever written...
She decided to read through the book.
Eventually, she came across a message that was rather interesting.
Apparently, it was written in Latin...and it didn't involve pigs. She didn't even eat bacon.
Still curious as ever, she decided to read it out loud.
"Et replete terrem...et hoc monstrom." read the teenage girl. What a peculiar message. Who exactly WAS Frank Romero? It would be rather interesting meeting him, though she wasn't sure if he was even alive.
Suddenly, she noticed something rather alarming as she flipped through the pages.
On the first page of the book, there was a message saying "YOU MUSN'T READ FROM THE BOOK!" in big red letters. It sounded like whoever wrote it, they meant it. Her eyes widened in surprise.
"If he didn't want people reading the book, then why did he write it in the first place?" asked Sam. It seemed kind of...crazy. Maybe there was something embarrassing inside? Or maybe it was his diary...
However, it didn't exactly LOOK like a diary. Wouldn't there be a lock? She knew she kept a lock on hers. What if Valerie got her hands on it? She would die of embarrassment...and then Danny would have to take her to the Ghost Zone where all the other ghosts were.
Suddenly, the book began to vibrate.
"What the-" exclaimed the teenage girl.
Shortly afterwards, the room was filled with darkness. She could hear evil laughter and what appeared to be the sound of various individuals running out from the tomb.
What was going on? It was all happening so fast.
Sam noted that perhaps she should have listened to the author's advice. But apparently, it was too late to do anything about it now.
A few seconds later, something bit her on the neck.
"Ow!" exclaimed Sam. That hurt.
For some strange reason, she got the feeling that she had done something very bad. VERY bad. Was Santa putting her on his naughty list this year? She was hoping to get some video games this year.
However, after a few seconds, the room was no longer filled with darkness and it was rather quiet. Maybe she was imagining things?
She decided to close the book. After that incident she was feeling rather nervous. Maybe she shouldn't read anything else from that book like that message had said. Not out loud, anyway. Although, she WAS curious what else was in that book.
On the other hand, her neck was still hurting a bit. What exactly had bitten her? Was it some sort of bat?
She decided that maybe it was probably nothing...although she DID feel a bit strange.
Fortunately, Danny and Tucker managed to find her a few minutes later. In Danny's case, he simply phased through the floor. Tucker had to take the stairs...much to his chagrin. Sometimes he wished that HE could go ghost. But as it was, he was a normal boy and his friend could wipe the floor with him if he wanted to...thankfully, he did not.
"You alright, Sam?" asked Danny.
"We were worried about you..." said Tucker.
"I think so...I just got bitten in the neck, that's all." stated Sam.
"Do you know what bit you?" inquired Sam's nerdy friend.
"Perhaps it was a hungry bat..." noted the girl. Or a thirsty bat, whichever it was.
Now that Danny thought of it...it did look like there were bite marks from a bat on Sam's neck. Perhaps she was right.
"Can we go home now? I think I've had enough encounters with the paranormal for one day..." asked Sam. What exactly was inside that book? And why did the author not want to find it?
Was the book what the ghosts were trying to warn Danny about? She sure hoped that this wasn't the start of something terrible.
"Alright." nodded Danny. That seemed fair. Sometimes he needed a break from fighting ghosts too. Fortunately, aside from the haunted tomb, he hadn't been encountering many ghosts lately.
It looked like life was good for him.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker all agreed to head home, Sam deciding to keep ahold of the book even though she had been told not to read from it.
Who knows? It might be useful one day.
Little did Sam know that her life was about to change forever.
Just like Danny's did.
I hoped that you liked this chapter. Of course, you can probably tell what she was bitten by. The title alone would probably give it away. And just for the record, she'll only be half-vampire...just like Danny is half-ghost.
Sound good?
In the next chapter, we're going to learn a bit more about the book that Sam read through. There was a reason why the author didn't want people reading it out loud.
